The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/datatype-enum.html
Description:
Postgres documentation, section 8.7.4 gives the limit on enum labels as 63
bytes.
Testing this with an oversized string gives the following error:
SQL Error [42602]: ERROR: invalid enum label
Detail: Labels must be 63 characters or less.

The documentation is correct. NAMEDATALEN is in bytes not characters.
The error message was fixed to say bytes in v14.
